Jon Stewart already won against Bill O'Reilly. Jon shut Bill up several years ago when Jon was a guest on Bill's show. Bill never had his facts straight and accused Jon of something I can't quite remember, but Jon shut Bill up in 2 sentences. It was epic.

I do realize most people will slobber all over John Stewart. I think him to be a smart man. I think O Reilly is a smart man-- i am not hugely biased like most people here who have posted and will post. If this is an actual debate and not a comedy laugh off, i think you may want to temper your enthusiasm. I know people hate O Reilly out of bias against anything fox, but the man has written several political books and has a political show that runs most nights. I doubt anyone will take this line of reasoning. There will be a lot of John Stewart love and bashing of O Reilly. Both of them use writing teams, I wonder whose team will prepare better?

Protip: when you proclaim your lack of bias before anyone accuses you (or anyone in the thread) of being biased, you clearly are. It is like saying 'im not racist, like you, but I hate white people.'

The way I see it, Stewart's audience will take Stewart's side, O'Reilly's audience will take O'Reilly's side. Both sides will get in "gotcha" comments, and both sides will use those soundbites in their respective shows to "prove" they won.

In the end, it's sure to be an entertaining exchange as it always is between Poppa Bear and Johnny Boy. I'll definitely be watching!

Jon Stewart is much smarter and more well informed. Bill O'Reilly is too biased to have a chance.

Oh please you can just see Jon playing up the Blame Bush Card, blame Congress, blame some obscure Youtube Video on americans being attacked, blame this blame that, just taking talking points from the Obama campaign.

Then when O'Reilly calls Jon out on that and states how off base he is.... here is Jon's ESCAPE CARD..... "OH BUT I'M JUST A LOWLY COMEDIAN, WHO CARES WHAT I SAY, DON'T MIND ME WHEN I SOUND LIKE AN IDIOT!"

here's me..... THEN WHY DID YOU START FLAPPING YOUR GUMS IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!!

can't stand that Jon Stewart his show is atrocious! Its him spending 40 minutes making sarcastic remarks and very annoying moans and groans. i feel bad for the youth of today who falls for his 1 dimensional shtick.... its so pedestrian, and so predicable. It appeals to 3rd grade level intelligence.

But it is going to be a debate, not an argument or an interview. Or is it?

Isn't a debate just a formal more intellectual argument?

Most people I know watch that it, already read/watch regular news....They do not really watch to get informed...They watch it for entertainment value.
